Air Sharing with a Web Browser
In addition to mounting Air Sharing as a wireless disk, you can also browse the files and folders
stored in Air Sharing, from any computer’s web browser. This works because Air Sharing
includes a full-featured web server as well as a file server. This web server is compatible with
all major web browsers, including Safari, Internet Explorer, and FireFox.
Viewed from a browser, you can see all of the files stored in Air Sharing:
From this web view of Air Sharing, you can also download documents to your computer, as you would download from any other web page. You can also upload files to Air Sharing using your browser's standard Upload controls. Note that on Safari for Mac OS X, clicking the Upload button occasionally has no effect. If this happens, simply click Upload again.
Using Bonjour in Safari
In most web browsers, you can simply enter the Air Sharing address (see Connecting) in the address bar
to view your Air Sharing files and folders:
But because the Safari browser supports (and installs)
Bonjour, you can easily find Air Sharing in Safari if you go to Safari’s Settings and turn on the
option to Include Bonjour in either the Bookmarks bar or the Bookmarks menu:
With Include Bonjour turned on in Safari, Safari will have a menu item with the name of this device
whenever Air Sharing is running. Selecting this menu item will show your Air Sharing contents in
Safari:
